Happy Birthday Hillary: Pass that bag of Cash
 
Hillary gets 1.5 million at Birthday Bash

It was the second Birthday fundraiser for the Queen Bee this week, the other was a Hollywood Hootenanny at Rob Reiner's home. No one will be able to keep up with the Clinton's money train. Hillary will have all the ready cash needed to win the presidential election.

This does not guarantee a victory but the money pile is a first prerequisite. The rest depends on how wisely it is spent and how well the voters can be bamboozled for the umpteenth time.

Welcome to the greatest show on earth, and always remember: Never Give a Sucker an Even Break.

I was expecting at least a passing mention of the Chinese connection to Hill's money. She's up to her neck in very shady, possibly washed, bundled contributions. Too bad the MSM is not interested.

Funny --- I read about the Chinese donations in the mainstream media. Apparently they are interested. Funny that we have an active thread on this forum for one of the golden boys where foreigners are trying to circumvent election laws by donating to a candidate and you haven't said a thing...

I have no idea what most forum acronyms mean, least of all BGC. I will assume it means you esteem W.C. Fields, one of America's premier comedians and just behind the current Speaker of the House, the entire Supreme Court, the United Nations and the President of Iran in terms of tickling the funny bone.

Did she lead anyone to their death in order to get it? I'll give her a pass.

Oh? One or two days of slight coverage then it was dropped.

A one day story is how the main stream media deals with news they can't ignore but that they want to. When they want to hype a story, it gets daily/weekly coverage for up to fours+ years (as in the case of Bush43's national guard service)....

Re: Happy Birthday Hillary: Obama Fundraiser defects to Clinton
 
Top Democratic Fundraiser Defects to Clinton


Interesting tidbits from the article:

"A longtime Democratic fundraiser has abandoned Barack Obama's campaign to help rival Hillary Rodham Clinton win the party's presidential nomination.....

Farmer was the finance chair of the Democratic National Committee during President George H.W. Bush's administration. He was a top fundraiser for Michael Dukakis in 1988, Bill Clinton in 1992 and John Kerry in 2004. Farmer served as Kerry's national treasurer in 2004, but when Kerry decided he would not seek the presidency in 2008, Farmer was one of several Kerry financial backers who chose to help Obama.

Bill Clinton chose Farmer to be his top diplomat in Bermuda, and the Clinton campaign was unhappy when Farmer picked Obama over the former first lady. Nevertheless, campaign officials continued to court him.

Clinton recently edged past Obama with an aggressive third quarter of fundraising. The New York senator holds nearly $35 million to Obama's $32 million, with primary voting just two months away.

Clinton had trailed Obama in fundraising and in money in the bank at the end of June.


The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment."

************************************************** ******

Farmer jumps ship at the right time to back the Queen Bee, who has the best chance of winning it all, so he can secure yet another appointed third-rate Goverment position once the Queen Bee gets the golden crown and starts distributing out rewards to all her slavish sycophantic drones.

The Greatest Show on Earth rolls on, inexorably crushing all competition and relentless in pursuit of the throne from which the Queen Bee will usher in a worldwide peaceful epic of utopian egalitarianism, the New Jerusalem will be built, a mother earth of plenty and prosperity will blossom, and the clouds will be extra puffy. All done under the patronizing smile of the megalomaniac Queen Bee as the hive collectively slaves away to produce the grand Clinton vision.

Would you please stop pretending that Bush's military service is a nightly event in the mainstream media. It came up during his Presidential campaigns, which happened to be 4 years apart, but never a story any other time. You are a disgrace to your cause.

Re: Obama Vs Clinton - and it\'s not just the Money.
 
Obama Accuses Clinton of Sidestepping

The issue was Social Security, one of the most sacred cows browsing on the American political landscape.

Tit-bits from the article:


'Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Saturday lashed out at rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, accusing her of dodging tough questions about Social Security.

Obama, campaigning at a senior center in Des Moines, said all the presidential candidates need to talk honestly about Social Security instead of sidestepping the issue, but he singled out Clinton _ the front-runner for the nomination _ for special criticism.
Obama's criticism of Clinton comes as she has been increasing her lead in national polls, leaving him and other Democratic candidates lagging far behind.

Obama's campaign arranged for him to be introduced at the event by Tod Bowman, a teacher from Maquoketa, Iowa, who tried to pin down Clinton during a debate in Iowa earlier this month on whether the government should tax workers' earnings above the present cap of $97,500 to help pay for Social Security benefits.
Clinton sidestepped the question in public, telling Bowman privately afterward that she didn't want to put an additional tax burden on the middle class, but would consider a "gap," with no Social Security taxes on income from $97,500 to around $200,000. Anything above that could be taxed. Her answer was overheard by an Associated Press reporter.

"A candidate for president owes it to the American people to tell us where they stand," Obama said. "... because you're not ready to lead if you can't tell us where you're going."

"She's not alone in avoiding answering this question directly _ she's not alone in ducking the issue," Obama said. "Because conventional thinking in Washington says that Social Security is the third rail of American politics. It says you should hedge, and dodge, and spin, but at all costs, don't answer."

Bowman, who endorsed Obama on Saturday, said he "got the feeling (Clinton) really didn't want to answer my question." '

And this at the end of the article:

'In Des Moines, Obama spoke about his solutions for Social Security, and said President Bush's argument that the system is broken and needs and [sic] overhaul is an exaggeration.

"The underlying system is sound. The actual problem is a projected cash shortfall that can be readily solved. But the longer we wait to solve the problem, the bigger it grows," Obama said. '
